ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME.

Application filed August 19, 1922. Serial No. 582,892.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. DEUSCHER,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York,borough of the Bronx, in the county of Bronx and State of New York,haveinvented a new and Improved Electrical Connection and Method ofMaking the Same, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention relates to an electrical connection and has for an objectthe provision of means whereby a firm, strong, efficient and durableconnection can be made in a relatively short time and with a minimumamount of labor.

A further object resides in the provision of a connection and method ofmaking the same which is an improvement over the connection shown in myprior Patent N 0. 1,482,-

288, Jan. 29, 1924, entitled Electric connection.

A further object residesin the particular construction and arrangementof parts hereinafter described and claimed and shown in the accompanyingdrawings.

The invention 1s illustrated in the accom- I panying drawings, of whichFigure 1 is a section through the preferred form of my invention;

Figure 2 is a side section showing the connection completed.

As shown in the drawings, the invention concerns the connection betweentwo wires or conductors 1 and 2 which, in the form of connection shownin Figure 1, are slipped through a sleeve 3 with their ends extendingbeyond the same and are then twisted together to form a strong, tightmechanical connection, after which the sleeve 3 is pressed firmlythereon, preferably by uniform pressure thereon simultaneously from alldirections. This connection provides a strong direct connection throughthe wires themselves as well as through the sleeve. 'ilrhe completedconstruction is shown in 4 ig. 2. v

In the form of the invention shown, it is to be noted that there is inaddition to the connection through the sleeve used, a firm, strongmechanical connection through the wires themselves which gives an addedstrength to the connection.

What I claim is: v

1. A method of joining conductors which includes inserting their endsinto and beyond the ends of a sleeve, twisting the conductors within thesleeve together to form a tight mechanical connection, compressing thesleeve upon the twisted portion of the conductor, and then wrapping theend of 00 each conductor around the adjacent portion of the otherconductor.

2. A connection between two conductors, which comprises a sleeve slippedover the two conductors, said conductors being twiston ed togetherwithin the sleeve with their ends projectin in opposite directionsbeyond the ends of the sleeves, these projecting ends being wrappedaround the adjacent portions of the conductors respectively, the sleevebe- (0 ing compressed upon the twisted portions of the conductorsuniformly in aIldirections to produce a tight mechanical joint.

CHARLES A. DEUSOHER.
